If you don't understand that heaven help you. Stats don't determine the result and a team can be totally dominated and pinch a 1-0 win like we did against the Dutch a few years back. Pity we weren't competive in the return leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others have all had rumours at some point for fees close to what you've mentioned (or higher in some cases) but the only bid/rumour I can remember for Tav was West Brom and it was about £2M if I remember correctly. 10 million might be abit high but the time when he should have been sold was at the moment when Rangers won the league. His stats and form were off the chart at that stage and he was getting alot of attention on Sky Sports etc. If I remember correctly he would have been around 26/27 so prime for a good transfer. Remember that more often that not the public never hear about enquiries, especially if neither the club nor the player want the move. A good few million for an English attacking full back with amazing set piece and normal delivery, Old Firm winning captain aged 26/27 would not be stretching the imagination. Especially if it was to a lower EPL side like Burnley etc On the original point, I do actually have some sympathy for the board. What do they do when the people who effectively pay their wages, ie the fans have a different outlook to how the club should be run to what they believe is best practice.

As you say, you can win a game by only having one shot at goal however if you only have one shot at goal in several games, the stats would suggest that your team isnt being creative enough. Thats totally seperate from how many points they pick up during those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth the watching 🤔 I go on different clubs forums all the time to see what they are saying. It's not a crime. Was reading the Bristol City board just there to see what they were saying about Tommy Conway. Fact is there are some professional paranoid fuckwits on KDS.
